The paper shows that neural responses to harm in one task predict prosocial effort in another, linking moral sensitivity to prosocial motivation.

This study examines how listening fatigue affects value-based decision-making and frontal cortical activation in hearing aid users.

This study investigates how deadline pressure influences effort-based decisions through computational modeling and neuroimaging, showing that deadline pressure shifts motivation from avoiding effort to valuing it.

This study shows stochastic choice explains variability in patch foraging decisions in humans and rats, making leaving variability independent of environmental rewards and using suboptimal internal reward rate estimates.

The paper compares conventional spectral fitting and direct linear modelling of fMRS data during a prolonged motor task, finding increased lactate but inconsistent glutamate changes.

The paper examines neural oscillations in human basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex during decision-making tasks, finding distinct roles for beta and theta oscillations in tracking effort and previous reward.

The paper shows that prosocial behavior and interoceptive awareness are linked to neural similarity and dissimilarity in the ACCg and AI during vicarious reward processing.

The paper identifies distinct neural representations for prosocial and self-benefitting effort using fMRI and shows empathy correlates with prosocial effort encoding.

This study shows dopamine modulates decision-making during foraging by influencing background reward rates rather than foreground rewards.
